"From the very beginning it has been an absolute pleasure working with Russell! Honesty, integrity, professional, skilled, and a fair price for service are just a few of the things I can say about everyone involved. Every phone call has been returned in a timely fashion, ordering our materials was explained in great detail and was done so exactly as we were told. Russell has a real eye for the color combination, and we are so happy with the end results. The crew was very professional, on time, and courteous. We were very impressed with the attention to detail that everyone showed! Even details that could have easily been missed by us the homeowner. They worked hard to keep the job site clean as they worked and tidied up often. The crew arrived to do our job and returned daily until it was done. None of this bouncing around from job to job. As our project progressed and grew, Russell and crew were very accommodating to make sure we received the best work possible even changing a little of the game plan to do so along the way. We were WOWED at how they saw our front porch turning and decided to make it even better! They repaired our chimney that was much worse than we realized without gouging us on labor and materials. Then we asked to go ahead with our garage addition while they were here, once again, Russell was more than happy to do so making this entire project seamless!! None of this waiting for months for someone to return or not. I am so happy we chose Russell's Home Remodeling for our windows, siding and garage addition and can't wait for them to come back and build our sunroom!!"

"They repainted my shutters and hung up a few shutters that had fallen down. They painted two interior hallways and an interior stairway. They did a perfect job! I plan on hiring them again to do more painting around my house!"

"I would highly recommend Groovy Hues to anyone looking for high quality stain and paint services that wonâ t break the bank. The Groovy Hues team is professional and easy to work with. They did an exterior stain job on our large fence, and we were so pleased with the quality and price of the work, that we also hired Groovy Hues to paint our master bathroom. We look forward to using Groovy Hues again in the future!"

"The owner , Rebecca Conner, responded very quickly to discuss the scope of work. The bid for the deck work was emailed to me within a day or two of her visiting the house to discuss the scope of work. She was very helpful in suggesting stain and deck paint colors that look great.

Ray and Joe showed up when they said they would and always phoned when they could not make it due to bad weather. They were both courteous and professioinal. I was very impressed how conscientious they were in their work. They often said that "it has to be done right". It is difficult to find such dedicated people these days and I really appreciated them.

I highly recommend them.

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Applying a sealer or topcoat after staining wood is highly recommended, though not always strictly required. A sealer protects the wood from moisture, UV rays, and weather-related issues, which is especially important for outdoor surfaces like decks and fences. It also enhances the stain's durability, prevents fading over time, and gives the wood a cleaner, more professional-looking finish. For some indoor applications, a sealer may not be necessary, depending on the type of stain used and the level of protection needed. It's always best to check the stain manufacturer's recommendations and consider the wood's intended use and exposure when deciding whether to apply a sealer.

Always wait until the morning dew has dried before you stain your deck. The stain needs a fully dry surface to sink into.

The best way to protect a deck is to prevent damage from UV light, water, mold, mildew, insects, and abrasive cleaning methods. Sweep regularly to prevent debris that hides bugs and traps moisture that can result in mold or mildew growth. Use a deck cleaner once a year to remove algae, mold, and mildew. Avoid using pressure washers on high, as they can damage the wood. Applying a deck sealant can protect the wood from UV and water damage, and adding shade can also reduce sunlight damage.

Applying too much sealer to a deck might seem like extra protection, but it can cause more harm than good. Wood is a porous material with a limited capacity to absorb liquids. When you go overboard with sealer, the excess can't soak in and instead forms a film on the surface. This leftover layer is prone to peeling, cracking, and trapping moisture, ultimately defeating the purpose of sealing in the first place. 

The general consensus is that two coats of stain are required and since the cedar is siding, a third coat of sealant is always a good idea. This helps protect the wood and stain, so you won’t need to resand and restain for at least a decade. Each stain after the first will darken the wood, so be aware of that when choosing a colored stain.
